Yesterday more than 12,000 people joined in the 65 Women Betrayed Rallies across the country. Pro-lifers and Pro-choicers rallied together to take a stand against Planned Parenthood to signify that this is not a political issue, but an issue between what's right and what's wrong.
From it's start Planned Parenthood was initially created as government funded genocide. Let's not forget, Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood was racist. She thought by initiating abortions for minority women, the government can reduce the population of minorities in this country. In a 1921 article, the Birth Control Review, Sanger wrote, "The most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective." This is one quotation of many where she considers procreation of minorities as a "problem." It's astounding how so many people look up to someone who felt minorities were inferior to whites. This is why many view Planned Parenthood as an organization that doesn't truly have minority interests at heart.
Although this was just the start of Planned Parenthood, and Sanger is long gone, the organization continues to act in ways that show they want to reduce the number of births within minorities. Today, 80% of Planned Parenthood facilities are in operation within minority communities. Last year, Planned Parenthood killed 90,000 black babies. That doesn't include the amount of Asians, Hispanics, Native Americans, and mixed babies. Now if your pro-chice you may not view these as deaths; however it's undeniable that these were potential lives.
As Americans we all grew up proud that our nation is the ultimate melting pot. But how spectacular is it when our government funds racial cleansing and prevents us from seeing how great and colorful our nation could potentially be. As a person who grew up within a very mixed family, there are so many benefits to growing up within a melting pot.
Unfortunately, although these facts have been known, they are always silenced. With the recent release of videos that highlight Planned Parenthood's selling of fetal tissue (or parts), there's no denying that there must be an investigation. It saddens me that some media are more focussed on combating against the whistleblowers than performing real investigative journalism.
Again, this isn't a pro-life/pro-choice call. Planned Parenthood has been accused of illegally selling fetal tissue. Just because members of Planned Parenthood are denying the accusations (as they would since they don't want to be sued), doesn't mean that this isn't a story worth looking into.
Defenders of Planned Parenthood argue, "the videos were heavily edited," yet watching them, it doesn't actually appear that way. They also argue that Planned Parenthood provides other good services, so these videos should just be over-looked. What they fail to consider is first off, medicare provides all of the same services for citizens in need (we really don't need Planned Parenthood anymore). Second, no organization is above the law. With the third video, there is a person who actually was employed to work with fetal tissue and is an insider within the fetal tissue exchange. With this evidence, and more, since more videos will be coming out, it highlights the need to investigate this corrupt organization.
Considering how the organization has been allowed to go unchecked for several years, its about time they are. Now, with the attention of these rally's both Democrats and Republicans are speaking out. The Senate will now take a vote on a bill to defund Planned Parenthood. With that said make sure to watch all the videos and keep up-to-date as the new ones get released.
